I think the OP is missing the forest for the trees. (English idiom. It means you're getting lost in the details and not seeing the big picture.) The question isn't just "how do you recover from a broken libpam package that prevents all logins". Although that's certainly a question for which a sid user should have an answer. Rather, it's "how do you recover from *any* situation where the system doesn't let you boot and/or log in normally". And there is no single answer. It's a question that's supposed to make you think. You should be able to come up with something, if you're going to use unstable. Obviously, different situational details would demand slightly different answers. Or radically different answers. The point is, you should be able to think of an answer. If you can't, then running unstable may not be your best choice.
